KiOmed Pharma is a biotechnology company based in Belgium that focuses on developing, manufacturing, and distributing chitosan-based medical devices. The company, a spinout from KitoZyme, utilizes exclusive natural chitosan chemistry to create solutions for high-impact medical conditions, particularly in osteoarthritis, dermatology, and ophthalmology. Headquartered in Herstal, Liège, KiOmed Pharma emphasizes therapeutic innovations through its proprietary KiOmedine® technology platform. One of its key products is KioMedine(vs)one, a single-injection soft implant designed to relieve pain and improve mobility in knee osteoarthritis patients. The company is also developing additional products targeting joint health, skin aging, and eye-related disorders. KiOmed Pharma maintains a commitment to biocompatibility and safety by using non-animal-derived chitosan in its formulations. In April 2024, KiOmed Pharma formed a strategic alliance with Aptissen to globally commercialize KioMedine(vs)one, enhancing patient access to its treatments while generating revenue through royalties and milestone payments. Under the leadership of CEO Houtaï Choumane, the company aims to create long-term value and improve patient outcomes in chronic diseases.
